1. رحلتُ وقد وجدتُ العيش مرا

    بسعي البغي والمرعى وخيما

    I departed, having found life bitter

    Through oppression’s workings, and the pasture unwholesome.

  2. فسنّى الله لي براً حديثاً

    نسيتُ بطيبه البرّ القديما

    So God granted me fresh kindness;

    Through its sweetness, I forgot the kindness of old.

  3. فمن يك سائلاً عني فإني

    وجدتُ الله رحمانا رحيما

    So whoever may be asking about me—indeed, I

    Have found God All-Merciful, Ever-Merciful.
